What's the appropriate license tag for it?

It is non-free, due to a lack of permission to modify.

Uh-oh, you are probably right.

I'd suggest recommending that upstream relicense this test case under an

I doubt upstream has a way to contact the author. It is just a test case, so we're going to remove it.

Thanks,
